That'll work. If you can find a constant hot under the dash, you can run the yellow to that, eliminate a bunch of extra wire trailed all over.

Riddle me this.

When cruising and I floor it in 4th and 5th I start getting white smoke out the tail pipes, as soon as I slow down it stops smoking. But when I'm slowing down it gives a nice backfire, usually just once.

It did this before I changed the plugs too....coolant looks good and stays level, oil look's good and clean. I'm thinking the timing is off some and/or hopefully not but possible a bad ring.

The old plugs all looked good.

Time for a compression test. I'm thinking perhaps head gasket or a crack in the head or cylinder block that 'pushes' coolant during high pressure.

For what it's worth - you really shouldn't floor it in 5th. Downshift out of 5th, THEN floor it!
